Qatar and normalization with Israel
A reader in Doha, Qatar sent me this (I cite with his permission): "I live in Qatar, working for Aljazeera. Anyway, this happened to me today: I went into Virgin Megastore here, one of about three bookstores in the entire country (one of the other two being another Virgin) looking for Mandela's autobiography which I wanted to gift my brother. They were out of that, but I found this instead (attached is a picture): Green Crescen Over Nazareth: The Displacement of Christians by Muslims in the Holy Land (by Raphael Israeli) Who the fuck decides the stock orders for these places?"
